judith supine: not actually a judith, or even a chick.

Okay, so we like to say that graffiti artists are blowing up. Come to think of it, though, the only BIG graffiti artists I can think of are Banksy (♥) and Shepard Fairey( not really my cup of tea).

So, when one of these guys actually writes an article, and thus becomes a little more my type of of tea, a little less oolong and a little more earl grey, where he talks about Judith Supine, you know this Judith Supine guy must be serious business. He's based in Brooklyn and his bright, psychedelic work reflects the sound of kids making music in their bedrooms on secondhand synths and Fisher Price karaoke machines, with a brilliant sense of humor.

Egon is one of my favorites and always will be. Anyone who runs away from sleezy bourgeois Vienna to a little town in Bohemia with the underage girl he loves to make grotesque and erotic art about sex and death is bound for great things.
Like the Spanish flu, which got the best of him at the tender age of 28.

edit: bahahaha what a creep! "Vice is nice, but incest is best," as an acid casualty art history teacher of mine once expounded.
